Due to its high altitude, the winery benefits from a relatively cool microclimate, resulting in high-quality Tempranillo and white Viura grapes. In recent years, they have invested in modern equipment for grape selection and vinification. The new Excellens series is the result.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e A fresh and rich white wine from Marques de Caceres\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nThis delicious white wine is made from Viura and a small amount of Verdejo. White wines from the Rioja region aren't necessarily known as fine whites. Because Viura wasn't a particularly flavorful grape in the past, it was often aged in excessive amounts of oak. The flavor was often overpowering, with too much vanilla. By using modern techniques, Marqués de Cáceres has succeeded in producing a very pleasant Viura Verdejo with only a light touch of oak. The resulting color is a light straw yellow that looks very appealing. The aroma translates into delicate aromas of citrus, grapefruit, apple, and a hint of vanilla. The taste is wonderfully fresh and rich. Citrus notes are subtly interspersed with milder notes of white fruit. The finish is intense with a refreshing undertone.

He owned only two hectares of vineyards himself and therefore gave farmers who supplied grapes to his project a share in the company. Enrique Forner did use (new) oak barriques, but shortened the aging or barreling, as was done in Bordeaux at the time. He enjoyed great success with his style. Marqués de Cáceres is one of the most famous brands in Rioja, accounting for one-tenth of all Rioja exports. In 2007, he handed over his responsibilities to his daughter Cristina.

For over a hundred years, this beautiful bodega has been producing wines in the Rioja's most beautiful wine region, Rioja Alta. Surrounding it are the vineyards of Leza García. The founder of this winery, Mr. Juan Leza Arenzana, personally selected the vineyards around 1920. It was quite a search, as he simply wanted the best sites for his grape varieties. This search has paid off for the family, as today the old, thick stems yield a fantastic harvest. However, according to Juan Leza Arenzana, this doesn't happen automatically; it takes hard work to make them shine. The family holds their reputation dearly and has released their top wine, the Leza García Rioja LG.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e The best wine from Leza García Rioja is this LG\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nFor this top-quality wine, only Tempranillo grapes are used, sourced from the oldest vines. These aged vines have deep roots, allowing them to draw abundant nutrients from the soil. The climate is perfect, with warm afternoons, cool breezes, and cool nighttime temperatures. Each bunch is harvested by hand and rigorously selected to obtain the finest juice. The bunches are collected in small crates and taken to the Leza García press. After pressing, this LC undergoes a very long aging process of up to several months in only new oak barrels. Both French and American oak barrels are used to give the wine even more depth. Especially because these are new barrels, which cost up to four hundred euros each, this red wine develops a fantastic character. The new oak lends its strength and suppleness to this top-quality wine.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e What does the Leza García Rioja LG taste like?\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nIt's a crown jewel, a true Rioja gem. On the nose, this wine boasts unparalleled, beautiful nuances of blackberry, cherry, and cherry, complemented by spices like cinnamon and bay leaf. But swirl this wine well in a large glass, because only then will it reveal everything: cedarwood, vanilla, licorice, and chocolate. On the palate, it's simply a powerful force, with plenty of black fruit and a wealth of other notes, but you'll have to discover that for yourself.","brand":"Poot","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42775799070799,"sku":"11079","price":25.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0594\/9358\/0879\/files\/leza-garcia-rioja-lg_11079.webp?v=1770121058"},{"product_id":"nube-de-leza-garcia-rioja-crianza","title":"Nube de Leza Garcia Rioja Crianza","description":"Leza García Winery is a true family winery where the quality of its wines is paramount.

The vineyards of this Tinto Valdemoreda Tempranillo are located slightly further north, along the banks of the Ebro River. However, it is still the Tempranillo grape, typical of Rioja, that forms the basis of this red wine.

It's a series of wines that explore the easternmost and westernmost regions of Rioja. For this white version, a blend of 50 percent Maturana Blanca and 50 percent Tempranillo Blanco was chosen. This blend was selected from vineyards in the westernmost part of Rioja Alta, where an extreme climate prevails, and aging in French barrels has resulted in a fresh and balanced wine.\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003e Quality Riojas from Ramon Bilbao\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n \nRamon Bilbao Winery was founded in 1924.

The Tempranillo grape generally forms the basis of their Rioja wines. In the winery, they combine modern techniques with ancient Spanish traditions. The climate is typically warmer than in Rioja Alta, yet the high altitude in Rioja Baja ensures cooler nights, allowing the grapes to develop good acidity.\n\n\n \nThe vineyards are located at an altitude of 450 meters in Cuzcurrita. Thanks to the extreme continental climate, this white wine retains its acidity and freshness. The vines are planted on shallow alluvial and gravelly soils. Harvest usually takes place in early October. Once arrived at the winery, a strict selection follows, followed by cold maceration.
